In Act One: The Government Charade,
Judge Hanen graciously gave Prosecuting Attorney Hagen, the opportunity
to respond to the Motions to Suppress and Dismiss, in greater detail,
since he had failed to address some of the points presented in Mr.
Sorola’s motions. The deadline for the response was April 10. So, we
anxiously awaited that filing to see if Hagen could dig out of the hole
he had created for himself, with his prosecution (persecution?) of K. C.
Massey.

Well, I received a copy of Government’s Supplementary Response To Motion Suppress And Motion To Dismiss Indictment,
on Friday, April 10. Now, it is typical of the “case law” method,
which, well, let’s use the description of Teddy Roosevelt’s thoughts on
this method, from the book “Bully Pulpit”, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Case
law method was developed at Harvard in 1872. “Though the pleasure he took in his studies is amply expressed in his journal, he was troubled that ‘some of the teaching of the law books and of the classroom seemed to me to be against justice.’ He noted critically that ‘we are concerned with [the] question of what law is, not what it ought to be.'” So, like Teddy, we are stuck with “what law is, not what it ought to be.”

Hagen’s Response addresses a number of higher court opinions, both
Supreme and appellate, though we will only be looking at those opinions
of the Supreme Court. So, let’s look at just how Mr. Hagen attempts to
extricate himself from that hole. At this time, we will only address the
Response to the Motion to Suppress.

First, he addresses the Motion to Suppress Evidence. In so doing, he lists the following:

Another question brought up in Sorola’s motion to suppress evidence
was also addressed. At issue is whether he was detained, at which point
he would have to be read his Miranda rights, which they did not do, or
simply stopped for investigative purposes. The latter would be what is
referred to as a Terry Stop. It is worth noting that a Terry Stop is defined as:

A brief detention of a person on reasonable suspicion of involvement in criminal activity but short of probable cause for arrest. To have reasonable suspicion that would justify a stop, police
must be able to point to “specific and articulable facts” that would
indicate to a reasonable person that a crime has been, is being, or is
about to be committed.

As you read the testimony, decide what you believe the answer is.
Remember that only two people were witness to any criminal activity —
the shooting incident.

Craig Stephen Hicks, the unemployed community college student
accused of killing three college-age Muslims, almost instantly became a
social-media portrait for questions about religious bias and hate
crimes.

Now the 46-year-old self-described atheist has become a
symbol for gun politics, too. Opposite sides in the gun-control debate
are using his case to bolster very different appeals for policy change.

The
advocates for more controls say the aggressive behavior cited by Hicks’
neighbors illustrates why they endorse fuller background checks with
hopes of limiting gun access.

Those advocating more gun freedom
argue that such violence might be prevented in the future if more
weapons, not fewer, were in the right hands.

William Lowndes Yancey of Alabama pointed to the relentless pressure from Northern States for trade advantages at the expense of the rest of the country while resisting any increase of new States friendly toward Southern interests. It should be noted also that Southern States were “free States” like the North though with an African labor system – and Northern States were former slaveholding States with many employing wage-slaves.
Bernhard Thuersam, www.Circa1865.com

Deep Seated Hostility Toward the South

“Yancey now saw the dangers . . . divined in the combination of tariff increases, repeal of the Gag Rule, and especially the exclusion of Texas. “I can see in this a deeply seated hostility to the South – a disposition to circumscribe it – to surround it with people and institutions hostile to it,” he began. The Missouri Compromise, he reminded New Yorkers, gave the free States the bulk of western territories enough to make twenty-six new States, according to his calculations.

Once the Union admitted Florida as a slave State, Yancey pointed out that slaveholders had nowhere else to turn. And yet, the Texas annexation – with the possibility of dividing that region into five slave States – “frighten[s] Northern men out of their wits about the enormous preponderance which annexation will bring to the South!”

So, he concluded, while Maine pressed her lumber interests in Congress, western States called for federal internal improvements, Pennsylvania and New England sought advantage for their industry and New York for commerce, “the South but urges annexation as a protection against assailants! Do you not see the difference?”

[Yancey] asserted that Northerners would cut their own throats by harming the peculiar institution. It was the produce of slave labor, not free labor, Yancey claimed, that resulted in the commercial prosperity of New York. [And] Yancey correctly noted that the Constitution’s three-fifths provision that many Northerners blamed for increasing Southern political power actually limited representation. If Northerners forced the end of slavery, African Americans in the South would suddenly count as five-fifths . . . for determining representation in Congress.

In this case in Kentucky, the robber had a fake gun. When the victim
pulled his own gun, the robber resorted to a gesture that indicated he
did not want a gun fight. But the realistic fake gun was still in his
hand.

The clerk fired, the robber dropped the fake gun and fled. His
accomplices dropped him off at a closed Urgent Care, but bystanders
called an ambulance and he survived, barely.

In previous articles, we have discussed the Criminal Complaint,
Arrest Warrant, and Search Warrant. In each of those documents, we have a
set paragraph, to wit:

On August 29, 2014, United States Border
Patrol Agents from the Fort Brown Border Patrol Station, while in
performance of their official duties, encountered an armed individual,
identified as John Frederick FOERSTER, in the brush. During this
encounter, FOERSTER turned and pointed a firearm at a USBP Agent,
who intern [sic] fired several shots at FOERSTER. FOERSTER is a member
of “Rusty’s Rangers,” an armed citizen militia group patrolling the
border of the United States and Mexico.

In each document bears the signature of “Anthony M. Rotunno, Special
Agent ATF”. Below that, it states that it was “Sworn to before me and
signed in my presence”, that being signed by “United States Magistrate
Judge Ronald G. Morgan”. So, we have Rotunno swearing before Morgan that
everything he has said is true. So, let’s see what the story is, now.

Hagen, the Prosecuting Attorney, in giving his response to Sorola’s motion, says:

[T]he way this all came about is there
was one agent that was in heavy brush, and he was in hot pursuit of
aliens. When he came through a clearing, he encountered John Foerster…
Mr. Foerster had a weapon. It was an AK47 type pistol. And when the
Border Patrol — and this is probably disputed. Idon’t think that Mr. Foersterever aimed or was planning on shooting the Border Patrol agent.
But when the Border Patrol agent came through the brush, Foerster
turned in his direction, and he was perceived as a threat by the Border
Patrol agent who fired several shots at Mr. Foerster, thankfully
missing.

Bugging out is something that I once failed to do, because I did not
even realize that it needed to be done, actually I saw what was
happening but I did not „proccess“ the information in correct way, so I
stay and had to go trough whole period of watching, doing, and getting
hit by violence, together with being cold, hungry, sick and everything
else.

Because bugging out is so important and survival done right is often
not getting into survival situations in the first place I stress
importance of bugging out (if you are not already live in great bug out
location anyway)

Consider the following couple of mistakes that I witnessed (more than one time).

Anti-gun group Moms Demand Action, led by Shannon Watts, organized a
protest on Saturday in an attempt to counter the National Rifle
Association’s massive annual meeting in Nashville. Watts and her group
were likely hoping for a better turnout, at least based on what Bearing
Arms editor Bob Owens saw.

Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood is being called the “New Joe Arpaio” for his refusal to abandon the people of his county to satisfy the ideological needs of a tyrant and a flower powered state official. Gov. Moonbeam recently signed an executive order, telling law
enforcement in the state that they cannot work with federal immigration
officers to detain illegal aliens who commit crimes, making California a
sanctuary state. Unfortunately for the head kook, Youngblood is not a
state employee and cannot be forced to disobey federal law.

Remembrance

Winners: Navy Cross Nguyen Van Kiet & MOH Thomas R. Norris This week’s Medal of Honor hero is one of a handful of Navy SEALs awarded the MOH in the Vietnam War. Norris snuck behind enemy lines with a South Vietnamese Navy petty officer rescued two downed pilots in 1972–when most of our resources had been pulled from the country. Interesting to note that later year, Norris was himself rescued by another SEAL Michael E. Thornton.More @ Medal of Honor Roll Call

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.

Thank you

I would just like you to know how so very glad I am that I found your blog. I have learned more history from you and the many links that you post than I have from reading all my history books. I can never thank you enough for the education you are freely giving me. It is priceless. And eye opening.

Many times I will not comment, but that does not mean I am not reading and learning.

You sir, are an educator. Thank you.

Good morning Mr. Townsend,

Just to let you know I have finally finished that massive tome on General Lee. I never knew 1/10th of what a great man he was. No wonder the South is so proud of him! So sad that we have few men of his caliber today. We need them desperately. I have learned more history through you and your blog than I thought I could ever learn. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking time to answer my e-mail. And thank you for your blog and for opening my eyes.

".......So good to hear from you! And also so pleased you are converting more of us Yankees! You have no idea how many people you have taught. And how many are so grateful to you for showing us the truth."

Your faithful friend,

Phylis

==============================

I have also learned from Brock Townsend and two nurses lately, that appreciation expressed by someone for whom you have great respect overwhelms the lack of appreciation by some from whom you expect it. I believe that we cannot really know which small bit of help makes the life-saving difference. ﻿I may have learned more real American history on Brock's blog than in 20 years of government schooling.

I have learned more history from you than all the years I was supposed to be in school (and not out hunting or fishing).

==============================

I really must say, I like thousands of others have said, your blog is the best out there and with all of your history and experience, you should run for *president. I look forward to reading your blog every day and every day I learn from you. Thank you for the time you put into this effort .

Sincerely,

Scott Fitts

*It would have to be an improvement. :) BT

Hi Brock,

Ever since I picked up on your blog I "Knew" you were a "Gentleman of the South!" You lack the "Crassness" that is so prevalent in today's Sociopolitical arena but speak with the Firmness in Truth and Conviction of Right like the words of our Late Great President Jefferson Davis! That is Honorable.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. At first it was a very subtle notice, then it became larger as I saw more. Then it bloomed to me to be what it is. In your writings, in your Blog, Brock, "You" have written, posted and done more to eradicate the "Revisionist History" forced on us by the "Northern Aggressors,"BAR NONE!!!" The "Stars and Bars" fly High and Proud today even more thanks to your efforts!

Reading your post on 03 JUNE about the birthday of President Jefferson Davis and the "quotes" of his was the galvanizing statement! The first words of "His" you posted say so much, are timeless and can never be "Destroyed!" by any man! .......and those words were........

"Truth crushed to the earth is still truth still and like a seed will rise again."--Jefferson Davis (1808-1889)

In so many ways you and your efforts to keep and carry on the "Truth of the South" are the water and light of the Sun that nourish "That Seed" that Jefferson Davis speaks of! That "Seed" of "Southern Truth!" That cannot be vanquished because of efforts like Men as yourself!

Thanks for your selfless effort,

The "Stars and Bars" FLY!

Dear Mr. Townsend,

I wanted to write to thank you for the pleasure and education I have received from reading your blog "Free North Carolina". I can honestly say that FNC is one of the first sites I visit daily.

I am a northerner by birth yet I consider the vilification of all things "South" a true and tragic disgrace. Your work has enabled me to become more familiar with a culture that I admire, yet have never really been familiar with.

Keep up the outstanding work!

A friend north of the Mason-Dixon Line,

Bob

===============================

My good sir,

I have been reading your blog for years, filling-in the woeful gaps in my knowledge thanks to your efforts, and have been truly impressed with not merely the depth and breadth of the topics you broach, but the frank and honest way you deal with them.

I salute you.

You cannot imagine my immense delight at just reading the "Witting, intentionally, and willfully..." posted on your site, that you linked to Theo Spark's blog.

I'm the guy that wrote it and sent it to Theo a few days ago.

On both our behalves, thank you for posting it on your fine blog.

With warmest personal regards,

Rico
